Jim Harbaugh expects the four suspended Michigan State football players involved in roughing up two members of Michigan's team to be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
"I can't imagine that this will not result in criminal charges," the Michigan coach said Monday.
Harbaugh said defensive back Gemon Green was punched by a Spartans player in the Michigan Stadium tunnel to spark the melee shortly after the fourth-ranked Wolverines beat their in-state rivals on Saturday night, and that teammate Ja'Den McBurrows was attacked when he tried to help. "This has been a very traumatic experience for everybody, especially for Ja'Den and Gemon," Harbaugh said.
Tucker announced Sunday night that linebacker Tank Brown, safety Angelo Grose, defensive end Zion Young and cornerback Khary Crump were suspended immediately. Tucker said the decision was made after "reviewing the disturbing electronic evidence." "Those two players did the same thing the Penn State game, did the same thing the previous games," Harbaugh said when asked why Green and McBurrows were not with the rest of their teammates. "They go up the tunnel with the other players."
